LIVE Coverage of NASA Discovery Mission

FOXBORO – Over the next 11 days the local Education Channel (Comcast 12/Verizon 37) will air NASA TV coverage of Discovery mission STS-133. Â Live stream video will also be available on the FCA website: http://www.fcatv.org/live

Discovery will spend two days heading towardÂ its rendezvous with the International SpaceÂ Station. Â On the second day of the flight, theÂ crew will perform the standard scan of theÂ shuttleâ€™s thermal protection system using theÂ orbiter boom sensor system attached to the endÂ of Discoveryâ€™s robotic arm. Â While theÂ inspection is underway, Bowen, Drew and StottÂ will work on preparing the spacesuits onboardÂ the shuttle that will be transferred to the stationÂ after docking and will be used during theÂ missionâ€™s two spacewalks.

Foxoboro Cable Access has been providing NASA TV launch-to-landing coverage of NASA shuttle missions as a publicÂ serviceÂ to the community for more than 15 years. Â For more information about FCA or training programs that are available to town residents at no charge, please contact Executive Director Michael Webber at 543-4757 or email info@fcatv.org.
